When I try to incorporate mail with root instance tickets, I am
told
inc: -ERR Authentication failed: Generic kerberos error (kfailure)
This message has a slight lead over "Can't send request (send_to_kdc)" in
the competition for worst kerberos error message. POP already has an
error message that fits the problem:
wrong username specified (jfc.root != jfc)
This message or something like it should be used.
